Prepare two 4 inch springform pans (you can add parchment paper to bottom) and set aside
In a food processor, add oreos and pulse until crushed. Then add butter and pulse until combined
12 Oreo cookies, 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
Divide the crushed oreos between the two pans and press down with a spoon or a tiny cup until the surface is flat and firm, then set aside

Add sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, salt and continue beating until combined.
1.4 oz. (40g) granulated sugar, 0.6 oz. (16g) cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon salt

Chocolate Ganache
Warm heavy cream in microwave for 30 to 45 seconds until hot, then pour over chocolate chips and let the mixture sit for several minutes. After several minutes, the chocolate should start to melt. Stir until completely smooth, then set aside (for 5 minutes or so) to thicken a little while you prepare the cheesecake.
